It was time to relax. Been working too much! so I headed on over to an old spot of mine that is a good producer of toc stuff. The weather was a bit cloudy
but still very humid.

This is looking down from the highway. I got a ways to go!

The bottles!

This Honohina soda's are pretty rare even for a machine. Got two of them today! one in really good condition can go for $65.00, unfortunately these aren't in really good shape!

Back at the car with a pretty good load.

4 sodas, a tooled beer which I found laying on the ground, several nice oriental meds, and a bunch of junk!

Boy I was a bit out of shape today, or just tired from working. All in all I had some good me time and a few nice bottles.

I'll clean them up and post tomorrow.

Aloha!

Really enjoyed the trip Tony.  Too much work and not enough digging is not good.  Sometimes you just gotta get out and dig!  Must be a pleasure to enjoy such beautiful scenery as you go to dig.  Most of us can only dream of a once in a lifetime visit to the Islands and you live there.  So, the dump that you are digging.  Was it left behind from a plantation at the turn of the century that has reverted back to nature?  Buster

Thanks for the stopping by!

Bruce, yes it was part of the town of Honohina, which included a small school house, a general store, horse and mule stables etc.
It used to be easy to get to this site but due to private property and fences now I got to take the long way.

Their is a killer dig site higher up too but I can't get to it now. A very high waterfall is in my way and someone bought the property that leads to it!

Hey Matt, the pigs help keep the trail is use if nothing else. Its so easy to get off course and end up in a steep situation!

Rick, here's your sea level view!

Aloha Tony,

Thanks for taking us along. Picturesque as can be, sir. I'd be celebrating with guava malasadas if I had a nice full bottle bag like that!

Really beautiful place to dig! Here in Jersey, the digging scenery usually includes polluted streams, crowded roads, and a few dead bodies for good measure...

Can't wait to see some nice Hawaiian bottles!
